1. Garlic Spray for Mosquitoes and Cockroaches
Why It Works: Garlic’s strong odor is highly repellent to many pests, including mosquitoes and cockroaches. The natural sulfur compounds in garlic irritate the pests’ sensory systems, making the area unbearable for them to enter or linger.
How to Use:
Ingredients: 3-4 garlic cloves, 1 liter of water, a few drops of liquid soap.
Preparation: Crush or finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the water. Let the mixture sit for 24 hours, allowing the garlic to infuse the water fully. Strain the garlic pieces out and add a few drops of liquid soap to help the solution stick to surfaces.
Application: Pour the solution into a spray bottle and apply it directly to areas where mosquitoes and cockroaches are likely to hide, such as around window sills, doorways, or cracks in the walls.
Benefits: This garlic spray is both an effective and safe alternative to chemical insecticides. It won’t harm pets or children when used properly, making it ideal for households looking for a more natural solution to pest control.
2. Garlic Powder for Mice
